Some of it was written by The Most Evil Man Ever To Live, Immanuel Kant. 
But in a lot of respects bees could have done a better job explaining 
humans than Ayn Rand. Bees are social insects. Aristotle, Rand's favorite 
philosopher, tells us that human beings are also social animals. Boy, is
he 
ever right-but Rand doesn't follow him in this, and just doesn't get it.
To 
her, society is a collection of atomic individuals. She fails to
understand 
or acknowledge even the smallest social unit, the family.
